A concise and practical visual guide to normal cell identification for all those dealing with cytology in the dog and cat.
Normal Cell Morphology in Canine and Feline Cytology: An Identification Guide takes a uniquely visual approach to normal cell identification in dogs and cats. Single-page presentations offer vivid snapshots of particular cell types, with high quality microphotographs matched with annotated schematic diagrams and accompanying explanatory text. Providing a vital understanding of what normal cells look like, this text is ideal for all those in small animal veterinary practice examining cytology samples.
The book begins with a concise, yet comprehensive introduction to the principles of morphological identification, followed by a description of the distribution of cells and where different cell types can be sampled from in the various tissues and organs. The main part of the book is devoted to describing each cell type and its characteristics. Cytoarchitectures, observed non-cellular material and general pathological changes are also described.
Offers a unique alphabetically organised visual guide to each cell type, covering cells from every type of organ and system
Features an abundance of full-colour microphotographs accompanied by beautifully rendered schematic diagrams, making cell identification quick and easy
Includes a visual index for ultimate ease of navigation at the microscope
Normal Cell Morphology in Canine and Feline Cytology is a must-have text for veterinary students and an indispensable bench manual for small animal veterinary practitioners.

This chapter describes the different cell types (cytotypes) identifiable by cytological examination, in the form of uniformly organized ‘cytotype identification sheets’. The identification sheets are characterized by the name of the cell type (Figure 19A), and are arranged in alphabetical order according to the cytotype name. Each sheet is accompanied by a photomicrograph which depicts the cell type at high magnification stained with DiffQuik® stain (Figure 19B), and by a schematic representation (diagram) based on the microphotograph (Figure 19C), which highlights the unique characteristics of the cell type useful to its identification.
Figure 19- Structure of 'cytotype identification sheets'. Name (A), microphotograph (B), schematic representation (C), scale bar (D), schematic representation of a red blood cell to scale (E), explanatory text (F).
In the context of the photomicrograph there is a 7 µm scale bar (Figure 19D), which is the size of a red blood cell; this represents the typical cell used to make size comparisons during microscopic observation. An erythrocyte is also shown with a 7 µm diameter in the diagram (Figure 19E).
The central part (Figure 19F) is occupied by the text, which is divided into:
